compatability

[russ]

Am I being ripped off.
I thought xp was compatible with all games i.e 95 98 ect
Having purchased quite a few I find they do not
run!!!!!!!!!!
Even after selecting compatability for the above they
still wont run Main problem being direct x. my system
shows all ok .
If I have to rely on xp games only then my choice is now
nil
Frustrated

Russ, did you try installing using Compatibility Mode? In some cases, this
is the key because the older game then believes it is on Win95 or whatever.
Take a look at this information:

If you need more assistance, please indicate the name of the game and give
us some of your system information, such as graphics card and driver, when
you post back.
